So for the 3rd time in 18 months, our shed got broken into again. This time the door lock was too strong – so they simply pulled the door apart…

Only the children’s bikes and my wife’s are stored in there all chained to a ground anchor. As per the last time, they were unable to get a bike and didn’t fancy a selection of used wheels and other parts.

So today, I’ve spent 6 hours rebuilding the door and moving most of the shed contents elsewhere. What a **** ballache and waste of a bank holiday! Bloody thieving arseholes.

Grim but you’re on their radar by the sounds of it. No more bikes in shed.

All four houses in our row were done. I agree though, we won’t be keeping anything in there anymore.

That wouldn’t have worked this time – they left the door frame intact but smashed the panels.

Don’t laugh but I knew a farmer who rigged a system up to do that only the cartridges were filled with rice. (NOT Tony Martin) He was being plagued by rats in an outhouse/garage.
This was in the 80’s.

Just leave the door unlocked , with a £20 note hanging from the frame, with a note saying please take this, as it’s probably what you would sell my gear for anyway

One of these you mean?
